Cambridge, Md. — Worcester County Commissioner Caryn Abbott led a session on Maryland’s Open Meetings Act during the first day of the Maryland Association of Counties Winter Conference in Cambridge. Abbott was one of four officials chosen to moderate panels at the annual event, which brings together local leaders from all 23 counties and Baltimore City.
The Maryland Association of Counties is a non-partisan organization that supports county governments by providing legislative guidance, training, and resources to improve public service. Its elected board and legislative committee guide responses to proposed legislation and set organizational priorities.
Abbott’s panel focused on ways local officials can ensure transparency and keep residents informed about government decisions. County officials say sessions like this give leaders tools to better engage the public and strengthen accountability. Details about Abbott’s participation appeared in a Dec. 15 post on Worcester County’s official Facebook page.
